Our Philosophy
Our Vision
We strive to be a Christian school with a standard of excellence. We want to include Christ in all that we do. An education at Grace transforms the heart as well as the head. The impact of our school on a student can be life defining, and our students, in turn, graduate ready to impact others and lead the next generation for Christ.
Our Mission
Grace Baptist Christian School seeks to honor Jesus Christ by equipping college-bound students to become lifelong servant leaders in their churches, communities and throughout the world. We partner with Christian families to pursue and nurture excellence in the spiritual, academic, artistic, physical, and social growth of our students. We offer a comprehensive, academically rigorous K4-12 education within a Bible-based and Christ-centered program.
The Student
Each student is a unique individual, created in God's image: the best and only version of himself or herself that God has ever made--or will make. Endowed with a one of a kind body, mind, and spirit, each student has distinct aptitudes and abilities—spiritually, mentally, socially, and physically. The student's spiritual relationship and fellowship with Christ is the true center of his or her life and provides the motivation, purpose, and direction for all other areas.
The School
The Christian school is a support ministry for the home and the Church. God has ordained the institution of the family and has given parents the responsibility of nurturing and training their children. He has ordained that Christ's body, the Church, is the pillar and ground for the truth. As a complement to home and church, the Christian school seeks to help nurture the growth of young people in a Godly direction in every arena as exemplified in the life of Christ: "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man” (Luke 2:52).
The Teacher
We recognize that when the student is at school, the teacher stands in the place of the parent. We believe that the role of the Christian teacher is to demonstrate through philosophy and lifestyle his or her personal relationship with Jesus Christ, a consistent reflection of Godly character, a heart to meet the needs of young people, and a mastery of content and delivery of instruction. The teacher's responsibility is an awesome one and must be entered into prayerfully, trusting the Lord for guidance.
The Educational Program
As a Christian school, the entire educational program is dependent upon and directly related to the truths and principles set forth in God’s Word. Each student needs individual love and attention and will achieve his or her highest potential when taught in such an environment. The ultimate aim of the educational program is to prepare and train young people to serve and glorify God as servant-leaders in their churches, communities and throughout the world. This aim is the basis for the following educational goals.
